“The first supermarket supposedly appeared on the American landscape in 1946. That is not very long ago. Until then, where was all the food? Dear folks, the food was in homes, gardens, local fields, and forests. It was near kitchens, near tables, near bedsides. It was in the pantry, the cellar, the backyard.” – Joel Salatin

There is a growing trend of people seeking to connect with nature and create more sustainable local food systems. A diverse variety of urban spaces are appearing across the globe. Inner city vacant plots and verges, community gardens and roof top gardens have appeared throughout urban and suburban environments. Unused spaces are being converted into productive habitats which also help with community building. Part of the urban agricultural revolution is the development and spread of community gardens which are popping up in cities, on university campuses and schools as well as at corporate offices and industrial estates.

A community garden is typically a piece of land collectively gardened by a group of people in a local community. Gardens can be either owned by individuals, local councils, not for profit organisations or some form of community trust. Gardens vary from region to region but generally provide fresh produce and plants as well as fostering community and connection between local residents.

Is it hard for you to see any benefit in being an Empath? Do you feel being highly sensitive is a problem for you? Most people feel that their heightened awareness or sensitivity is a burden that they want to shut off and quiet. It’s really important for you to hear how valuable you are as an Empath, and how many wonderful traits you have that set you apart and give you an advantage because you are highly sensitive.

When you get a better understanding of your true nature, realize you are not alone, start accepting your heightened sensitivities and then learn the practicable methods in going to share with you, you will be able to gradually identify and release all those pesky internalized false beliefs you have about how there is something wrong with you.

What if what you believe is wrong about you was your greatest capacity for changing the world and you just don’t yet know how to use your natural abilities yet?

Dear Ones, just as transforming your physical body is the result of the accumulation of consistent effort, you shift and evolve as the result of staying in a higher energy on a more consistent basis. A bunch of small decisions – deciding to meditate more often, taking time for stillness, spending time in activities that bring you joy, practicing gratitude, surrounding yourself with people who love and support you – add up to make tangible and lasting change. It does not need to require herculean effort. Big change happens before you know it by making one empowering decision at a time. ~Archangel Gabriel

God said:

What is this strong pull you feel for another human being as if out of the blue? Is it because you are starved for love, and another offers it or the illusion of it? Is love something more? There is love that seems greater than romance. There is love that is not illusion, love that comes from somewhere and enriches itself. This love certainly seems ordained. This love certainly seems meant to be. This love is so rich.

Heads are bowed, and two pairs of eyes look up, and love circles the Earth and beyond. Something happens. Fast or slow, something happens. Yet love was never not. Life is an occasion for love. Love may take you by surprise, yet True Love has been looking for you all your life, and you have been looking for it. You have been waiting for love all the time that it has been right there waiting with you.

Love is greater than a tryst. It is greater than a pitter-pat of the heart. It is greater than an explosion of emotion. Whatever words you use to describe love, love is something more. On this sometimes torn Earth, two hearts meet, and invoke love in each other.

11:11 make a wish! I’m sure you remember this saying, and maybe you still say it today. It is the only time of the day (using the 12 hour clock) that all the numbers on the clock are the same. Where does this saying come from? Should you even bother to make a wish? What makes this time so important and what is the significance of 11:11?

The Phenomenon

It seems everyone today is talking about seeing 11:11 everywhere. In fact, in the popular movie I Origins, the concept comes up yet again. A highly scientific guy begins seeing 11:11 in many places and is guided to follow the numbers until he eventually meets a highly spiritual girl and there personalities collide. It’s a fascinating film about reincarnation and it truly makes the view think. But back to 11:11!

Why are so many of us seeing this right now. Is it a biological thing where our bodies get in the habit of looking at a clock during this time? If so, what about when we randomly keep seeing it even on clocks that are out of sync with other clocks?
